Meaning
The sentence runs on through the next verse. The commentary reads it so: in this seven-thousand-verse part the world's splendour, varied by the difference of seer and seen, whose form is 'I' and 'this', is shown to appear as if arisen, though it was never born. The world is defined here by its two poles: the one who sees, and what is seen.
